Thirteen Patriots seasons. None more enjoyable (despite its disappointing ending), nor more appreciated than that which just came to pass. Unexpected in September, it was a 4 1/2-month football joyride. Thanks to all who made it happen and shared it with us on @985thesportshub.bsky.social

Can’t wait for kickoff.

Good day for a reminder. Buy local. Support small businesses. Order at @bookshop.org. And support local, independent journalism. It looks out for even those who don't look out for it.

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Being an FBI agent wasn’t a job to former Bear Charles Tillman as much as it was a vocation. He loved the people he worked with and found honor, integrity and nobility in their service. Then came that day last January. My story. www.nytimes.com/athletic/689...

With respect to all other daily sports sections, the consistent quality of @washingtonpost.com reporting and writing and the scope and importance of its stories — from preps to pros — has been unrivaled in my nearly 30 years as a reader and subscriber. #SaveThePost

Welcome to GilletteStadium on NFL #WildCardWeekend.

Coach of the Year?

The Patriots Mike Vrabel, who regularly signs autographs and interacts with fans, took a moment before Sunday’s game for a selfie (or, for fellow Ted Lasso fans, an “ussie”).

Then his team went out and gave the entire home crowd a 14th win to celebrate.

Equally outstanding on any sport, on any platform, as we were reminded (again!) last night. And more than an exemplar, Sean’s long been a generous source of advice and insights for others in this field and an advocate for local voices working in neighboring booths. Long overdue.

Unfortunately, I did not. Nor did I see the tie earlier today at Selhurst. Watching Sunderland trying to deny City three points as I type.

Best to you and yours in 2026!

Cheers! And congrats! 4-1 over Villa is some way to usher out the old year.

Sorry!

@nh-gooner.bsky.social Big one today. Good luck on getting those three points. I’ll be looking forward to Monday Night Football from Craven Cottage :)

Thank you. Arsenal!

Busman’s holiday. In Orchard Park for Bengals at Bills with Brandon Noble for Sports USA Radio.

A few minutes of good fortune, then about 92 minutes of holding my breath. All’s well that ends well, especially in your part of North London! Good luck tomorrow!

As @christopherprice.bsky.social writes (beautifully), a story about giving of oneself and acting out of empathy and kindness. A story worth your time.

@nh-gooner.bsky.social Congrats on a good weekend for Arsenal!

Good on Kyle Dugger for taking advantage of his new opportunity in Pittsburgh.

Whatever the outcomes elsewhere, it's fun again to watch the scoreboard on a rare Sunday off.

Welcome to Foxborough.

Pats finish 4-0 against the NFC South (Carolina, New Orleans, Atlanta and Tampa Bay). Pats were 5-16 in previous 21 games vs. NFC.

They miss Antonee Robinson.

Appreciate it, but…as I watch while waiting to go to the airport for tomorrow’s game, I feel like I’ve seen this before. Though I’m now hooked on Sunderland ‘Til I Die, I wish you and your Gunners good luck!

Congrats, @nh-gooner.bsky.social on a great football weekend for you! Liverpool loses, Pats win and Eze strikes for Arsenal in a win over Palace!
